On a beautiful day in Chicago as I walked through the park, this insane fog rolled in! A soccer game started on one of the fields I was walking by. I photographed and took video of this experience. Later on after talking the video, I learned that the team was the Ghana World Cup Team! Amazing and random all at the same time .

    stunning little clip..
    great photos as well.
    i love all the focus hunting and the end is perfect.
    this has a real analogue old world feel,and the locked off shot and no cut aways takes this to another level....

    are you sure this is the ghana national football team?
    i don't wanna doubt anything, but why should they practice in a park in chicago? i don't get it...

    Paul: A week ago or so I found your website. Got to say I've spent a lot of time there, exploring your work. I think you are an amazingly talented artist. Your photography and video-art work are both so beautiful and incredibly relevant. I think this "Ghana in fog" piece shows it all. Awesome, indeed.
